Children as young as six are being sexually abused by United Nations peacekeepers and aid workers in return for food and money, says a report by Save the Children, a non-profit organisation.
Children in post-conflict areas are being abused by the very people drafted into such zones to help look after them, says Save the Children.
Haitian children are particularly at risk, says Save the Children.
